    Too much stress I suppose. Even though I am trying not to.

    Not surprised.
    Hope you sleep well.

    Morning, not the best of nights, but neck is not so sore and headache has gone, so that's a good start.

    I have been lying there thinking ( always thinking too much), about how I will work through today, of course I haven't had anyone else's agenda to scupper me yet.

    I think I will do the trolley of sewing, then clear away everything so I can bring down the decorations, after school Dgd can help me put them up.
    I then, if I have time/energy will pack my bags for the holidays as Mum and I are sharing a suitcase I can then take it to hers to do. She will be happier if she has packed.
    If I still have any time left then I will start on my Mountains is paperwork that I keep putting off.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Well I have been busy all day, but haven't made as much inroads as I had hoped. I did sew all the work that I brought home including making 5 aprons, but I didn't finish until 3.15
    By then Dgd was coming home, so I managed a cuppa and started to pack away all signs of my sewing. It took quite a while, as I also had to sort out the glory hole cupboard to be able to fit things in.
    So I haven't ventured into the loft.
    I am too tired. So we still don't have a Christmas tree. Not that Dgd seems to be very bothered.
    I am wondering if I will bother, I might just bring home some Christmas bunting, and maybe use the lights around the house. Let's face it Dgd goes next week end and so do I. It's really only about the Christmas Buffet that I invited Biggest and her family and DS because I will have the boys. But it looks like DS is working and I may have to have the Gf here.
    My Seamstress is saying that she will be in work tomorrow, so she is going to do the Suit first. I brought a lot home, so as we have been turning work away except small jobs, then I think we will be actually sewing the things we said we wouldn't be able to tackle until new year.
    My friend is keeping the shop open, and she is going to do Monday, so I will get to take time out to have lunch with my Brother if he arrives here Sunday as planned.

    I treated us to a Sausage and chips from the local chippy, and now I have my feet up!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    :xmastree::xmastree:I had planned to go to bed early. But I have spent the evening either on email, text or Skype!
    Oh well I cannot help being popular!
    Tomorrow is the day we take the boys to see Santa and have a train ride
    Here is hoping that doesn't get sabotaged.
    Night night

    Positive head on! Dgd actually got up early enough to have a shower without my having to stress about it. Although it took her 20 minutes to surface.
    Once again my sky has failed, thankfully my new TV has BBC iplayer on it, so nearly business as usual except when it goes to local news- then it is blank.
    My time with the boys is reduced from 4 days to half a day!
    That is this morning. So I will be making the most of it.

    Santa here we come!

  • I wonder why things keep being changed with regard to access to the boys Mooloo, it all seems a bit last minute

    I would be furious that plans made months ago have been changed at the last minute,no wonder social services have a bad rep.
    I don't post much but read daily,hope you have a really lovely relaxing Christmas if anyone deserves it you do.
